Thanks everyone for your help. Hubby got the 790 Plus with the crystal promotional machine package. It comes with lots of extras and turned out to be only about five hundred more than the 770 we started looking at. It is on it's way from Chicago and hopefully will be here by friday. I am really excited now! A bit more than I thought we would spend, but, I talked to my Bernina repair man and he said it was a great machine and recommended it fully.
